Along with the rapid popularization of smartphone,the mobile Internet is developing fast,and is gradually penetrating into all areas of people's life and work.In this context,a new learning mode based on smartphone is receiving the growing attention.Mobile learning App for international Chinese education comes to a new development period,and applying mobile Internet technology to Chinese education has become a trend.However,the quality of mobile Chinese learning Apps on the market is patchy.In order to explore how the mobile Internet can better promote the development of Chinese education,this article investigates the use of mobile Chinese learning Apps by Egyptian learners.First,the basic situation of use was obtained through a questionnaire survey with Chinese learners from Ain Shams University Confucius Classroom and Chinese department.After sorting out and analyzing data,it was found that the respondents tend to use learning Apps with tool feature,and valued the learning content and functional design of the Apps.Second,based on the survey results,comparative analysis and research are conducted on the six Chinese learning Apps with the highest usage and popularity,and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of those Apps from multiple perspectives such as learning content,functional design,interactive design,personalized service,interface design,and system operation.Finally,combine the survey results and comparative research,we propose three suggestions for the application of mobile learning Apps in Chinese education: software developers should combine the perspective of Chinese professionals,strengthen the hardware support of network information technology,and improve construction of learning content and various functions;Chinese learners should make full use of mobile learning resources to cultivate high self-learning ability;teachers should strengthen Internet thinking and provide students with better education resources.
